This show was such an amazing and incredible one in light of the recent Industry Day in South Florida.  So this week we are bringing back an interview with Quadeera "The Power" Teart.  It's a Talk worth repeating.

The Power" Teart is an advocate of entrepreneurship among youth; investing much of her time in the development of student entrepreneurs. It is through this advocacy she developed and founded an annual Celebrity Success Week, which is focused on entrepreneurship among women and youth, and currently being supported by Miami Dade College, and the Clinton Global Foundation. She believes and teaches that the success of any entrepreneur is within a brand that will evoke nostalgic emotions that people want to buy and share, which is how you make your ideas spread. Her mission is to teach entrepreneurs how to use their brand power, as a platform for global CELEBRITY SUCCESS that inspires people, heals people, and creates global change to transform our world!

Industry Day provides a platform for Transportation Industry professionals to share with students the opportunities available in various career fields of transportation, aviation, construction, and engineering. Industry Day differs from a traditional career fair by offering information through small seminars with dialogue exchange, rather than by exhibits or booths.
